DEFENSE ORIGINS · REGULATED PURPOSEEight weeks to frame
Eight weeks to frame
your cloud foundation strategy.
Launch the strategy engagement well before your first regulated workload moves. Start with how your organization operates today, then prepare the road toward cloud operations and the authorization, certification or audit your sector requires. Two weeks of preparation. Six weeks of consultant-led work. Four connected deliverables.
Experienced consulting.
A structured way to work.
Led by Chuck Greene, Groundwork Cloud helps regulated organizations frame cloud decisions and the work needed to carry them forward. Groundwork Cloud supports that consulting work with structured evidence, prepared reference material and connected planning outputs.

The method was first built for U.S. defense cloud programs, the hardest bar; that work is not described here. Federal civilian agencies, the defense industrial base, state, local and education, regulated industry and any organization held to a standard adapt the same requirements, handling and review paths to their own frameworks. Your designated leaders and officials retain their decisions.
Built to run inside your boundary.
Groundwork Cloud runs on an endpoint your organization approves: no network scan, no agents, no call home, and no AI service required. Read the architecture, its data boundaries and our latest engineering self-assessment, with what we tested and what we fixed.
Planning a move to regulated cloud?
Let’s discuss the organization alongside it.
You do not need to know every service the future platform will provide. Bring the outcome you need, the current environment and the planning pressure. We’ll use the workshop to establish a useful starting point.
Leave with a bounded next move
A short consultant-authored recap of priorities, assumptions, questions and a proposed next action for your team to confirm. The eight-week engagement is a possible follow-on; the workshop is useful on its own.
